Sorry, was posting before I saw your reply.
Yes, Toni is our best quick perimeter defender (although I'd really like to see a 3-2 zone with Jos/Boothe and Nneka on the backline and Chiney at the point). Amber gives up a bit too much height, but she could get better. Lindy is a good positional and physical defender, but doesn't have the lateral quickness to stay in front of quick drivers without help. I was really hoping one of our incoming class (Alex or Jasmine) would take to that role, and develop into a "glove" defender. And seeing Erica playing up top on some offensive sets with the subs, I'd like to see what she could do on perimeter defense as a stopper.
